Is this the Psalter for the American Church?

Great! Adding to my growing collection of psalters.

[Ortho_pilgrim]

I have to say, I NEVER thought I'd leave the Boston [HTM] Psalter, but truly: this translation is a masterpiece imo. Hands down the best Psalter out there. Thank you for reviewing Dale!

Thanks Dale! The green reminds me of the St. Dunstan psalter, which is SO great

[DRL]

As always, thank you for the excellent review. I am ordering right now!

Great review! Thanks! I am the managing editor for STM Press. The second impression is being printed in Great Britain (not China). It also includes 3 marking ribbons (not just 1). I am sorry for the shipping damage. I brought this up with our "shipping-monk, " noting that these are expensive books and need to be packaged more carefully. Best wishes to you and your channel.

The OCA website has liturgical texts marked 'thou-version' and 'you-version'. I wonder if there'll ever be a 'you-version' of this Psalter.

Weird, I was just wondering if you’d have a review of this earlier today

[TheRomanOrthodox]

This psalter looks great! I wish it had come out before I bought two or three others.

[AmericanShia]

This is a very good Psalter. I am tempted, on the strength of your video, to purchase this Psalter.

The only critique I have, besides the one you mentioned concerning the need for more ribbon markers, it that the 9 Odes are not included. I don't expect all 15 because the only 6 Odes are seldom used nowadays. However, Those 9 Odes compliment the Psalter if one doesn't have a good prayer book with them.

I became acquainted with the Psalter using the KJV, not the Coverdale. I quite like the Coverdale, but I like the KJV Psalter even more. The problem is that, intellectually, I believe the LXX Psalter is most correct, who means I prefer either an Orthodox translation of the Psalter, or the Douay Rheims if I don't have a translation from the LXX. That would be the only possible shortcoming with the Anglican Office Book.

Keep these kinds of videos coming. You seem to have a gift making edifying videos!

My dear brother. Santa needs to bring you a Keurig for Christmas, watching you drink instant coffee hurts my heart

[hughmccann]

Is there (or COULD there be) a universally-used Orthodox Psalter?

[TheNewCatacombs]

For someone that uses the Boston Psalter exclusively, would this Psalter be overkill? It seems like this is the rare case of a positive evolution in translation.

[slapwing]

What I can't get used to in this and many other Psalter translations is NON-capitalized personal pronouns referring God. After the HTM Psalter or 'A Psalter for Prayer' or the modern-day English 'Ancient Faith Psalter' I always stumble at 'thou, O Lord', etc. Reading 'Thou', 'Thee', Thy', 'His' or 'You' addressing the Lord gives me a more comforrable feeling. What do you think?

Can you comment on personal pronouns addressing God not being capitalized in this translation? I've seen people commenting on that in other places.
